Tell your cabel box to put out 1080i50 and do the deinterlacing yourself with the new temporal algorithm and save yourself the upscaling.

The AMD devs are aware of this 33% performance miss - but all good ideas until now did not come to a solution sadly. Never the less - feature wise OSS vdpau can do far more than fglrx could ever do (Codec wise and concerning deinterlacing).

no crazy menus like wsnipex/fernet menta.
to remove xbmc i only removed bin. not autoremove.

Code:

sudo apt-get remove xbmc xbmc-bin
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu saucy main - via software manager
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu saucy main - via software manager
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin
xbmc

it opens menus like normal. i also get temporal deinterlacing it is good. it is bugy and crashes some. but the menus work. hope this helps debug fernetmenta branch for my box.
thanks G

grep Broken /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log

This is likely because of the xorg video drivers. You should be fine removing the ones it's complaining about, running the upgrade, then running the post install commands fritsch has provided, but toss xserver-xorg-video-all onto the install list. Make sure to do this all before rebooting, and you should be in business.

It is buggy and crashsome? I rather think something with your drivers is broken. Running it since more than three days with my primary usecase livetv (1080i50, 576i). And remember: Every crash has a crashlog.

The problem I have is I didn't get the audio working when playing an on line video

sudo aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC662 rev3 Analog [ALC662 rev3 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Card 0 is what I'm expecting to get the sound as I'm using DVI from the video card.
Another strange I can see is when I open the audio page during playing the online video, the audio source listed as "Undetermined-Stereo(1/1)" . I can't change it , so not sure if it is the root cause.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
